Openpyxl : the load_workbook function was automatically called when the open function run

Question

the code as below

from openpyxl import *
wb = load_workbook(r'./test.xlsx')
ws = wb.active
ws1 = wb.create_sheet("Mysheet")
ws.delete_cols(2)
wb.save('./test.xlsx')
tagui_output = open('C:/Downloads/TagUI_Windows/tagui/src/tagui_py/tagui_py.txt','w')
tagui_output.write(temp_result)
tagui_output.close()

the output of code as below

C:DownloadsTagUI_Windowstaguiflowssamples> python .excel2.py
fn of load_workbook = ./test.xlsx
fn of load_workbook = C:/Downloads/TagUI_Windows/tagui/src/tagui_py/tagui_py.txt

    raise InvalidFileException(msg)

It seems the load_workbook function was automatically called when the open(‘C:/Downloads/TagUI_Windows/tagui/src/tagui_py/tagui_py.txt’,’w’) function run,why this happened ?

You’ve conflict for python io function open() with openpyxl.open.

from openpyxl import * is importing all functions which shadows built-in open(). Restrict from openpyxl imports to limited function calls which you use.

Also, use with open("path/tagui_py.txt", "w") as tagui_output: for better file-handling.
